I met the singer of this song, Mr. Ding Mercado in a chance encounter sometime in 1997 when both of us are on our plane trip to General Santos City for the then Special Economic Zone Asean Finance Ministers Meeting. Ding was the special performer for the gala night at that time. He was so amazed when I told him that I am a lover of the Somewhere in Time classic ballad as sung by Pat Castillo. It was when he sang that same song with different lyrics, that I got so enthusiastic and interested to know and have a copy of the exact lyrics. Ding was so accomodating and supportive of me since during the flight on our way back to Manila, he looked for a piece of scratch paper and patiently wrote down the words of the song by Mr. Freddie Santos.
Somewhere in time
I hear a melody
Filling my heart with songs
To linger on in me
Somewhere in time
I still remember
The first hello, I know
That you’re meant for me
We had it all
Growing from day to day
Forever seemed as far
As any star could be
Somewhere in time
We had our moment
The secret song belonged
To just you and me
Where did it go
Those endless years
And all we said and done
Has gone from laughter to tears
One last goodbye with only just a song
Somewhere in time
I hear a melody
Filling my heart with songs
To linger on in me
Somewhere in time
I still remember
The first hello, I know
That you’re meant for me
We had it all
Growing from day to day
Forever seemed as far
As any star could be
Somewhere in time
We had our moment
The secret song belonged
To just you and me
Where did it go
Those endless years
And all we said and done
Has gone from laughter to tears
One last goodbye with only just a song
Somewhere in time
